High License in Illinois,

If ever high license had a fair trial,
it has mad it here. If ever high IL
cense is to prove a success it should be
in a city OF schools like Rockford.
With a large number of total abstain
ers, with vigorous and aggressive tenn
perance organizations, with more than
score of churches, large and inau-
entail, large and active Young Mems
Christian Association, a fine public Ii
brary, and other organizations, all
seeking in effect to counteract the sa-
loon and its works, still saloons are in
creasing in number, and evidences
are on every hand to show that little
or no restraint is put upon the traffic.
Surely in such field, with such sur
roundings, if there is any virtue in
high license it should be apparent by
this time, On the contrary, there is
an evident increase of drunkenness !;
young men are tempted by the high
toned palaces Of hell, and homes are
desolated by the ravages Of the drink
demon. We denounce high license,
as it now,exists in Rockford, as a hum
bug and fraud of the first water. We
protest in the name of suffering hui
manity against the continuance OF
this iniquitous system. Our saloons
are curse to us, and no amount oI
money will mitigate the curse. 1t is
time for Rockford to call halt, and il
behooves Christians and temperance
men to awake to the work of ruir
and death which our saloons are do
ing.-Rock Monitor.

Effects OfprOhibitiOn.

Since our last issue another circum-
stance has transpired further illustra-
ting the blighting effects of prohibi-
tion upon Des Moines real estate.
About the first of June few gem
tlemen purchased tract of land sit
uated in the most radically, fantical
Temperance portion of our city. 1t is
true it is nicely improved with hand
some homes, beautiful lawns, native
groves; but then the people, oh, the
people, such people will not toler-
ate a saloon in their midst; consider
it crime for one man to furnish an
other with the means of becoming in
toxicated will not allow rattle snakes
because they might furnish an excuse
for the use of whisky; make mince
pie without brandy are born, married =,
died, without a drunk. Such au-
dacity, think OF purchasing land in
such a community. Inevitable loss
must certainly be the result. Let us
see.
Notwithstanding the character of
these people surrounding this tract
OF about twenty acres, the proprietors
at once laid out their purchases into
lots and advertised them for sale at
public auction, and after giving only
about two weeks notice actually had
the audacity to offer the lots in that
way, even going so far as to employ a
radical temperance man H. B. Allison,
Esq, as auctioneer. And this tenn
perance auctioneer, surrounded by
a crowd OF temperance fanatics, with
tract of twenty acres situated in the
prohibition stronghold of Des Moin es,
in three hours time sold the entire
plat at a net Gain to the proprietors of
$12,737.50, killed by prohibition.
These gentlemen would like more
killing of the same kind.-American
